Two Chairs No Waiting

I love it when listeners help me find great content for the podcast and this episode is exactly that.  Randy Bewer sent me an e-mail with a link to a story from the May 7, 1961 edition of The Milwaukee Sentinel titled,  McNear: Barber Who ‘Cuts Up’ and it was gold.

I’ve been involved with The Andy Griffith Show Rerun Watchers Club (TAGSRWC) for going on 30 years and I had never seen nor heard about this article by United Press International writer J.A. Amant.  I hope you enjoy this little nugget even half as much as I did when I first read it.  It’s kind of like finding a lost bit of history.

You’ll also get to hear a little about the 2014 Mayberry Meet-up held in Mt. Airy in July.  A fun time was had by all and I encourage you to get out there and visit with your friends and family….turn them in the Mayberry fans if you can.

Two Chairs No Waiting

Host: Allan Newsome
Running time: 0:23:40

Hey Mayberry,

WOW….let me just say that we had a wonderful time in Mt. Airy, NC this past weekend!

We had 29 Mayberry fans join us for the Mayberry Meet-up!  They came from *all* over but I think Ohio was well represented (4), Tennessee (4),  Alabama (3),  Georgia (2), and the most folks were from North Carolina (16) as it should be since we were in their back yard.

Friday started off great with a visit to the Andy Griffith Museum and autographs from “Thelma Lou” herself, Ms. Betty Lynn!  Folks stood in line for hours to meet Betty and get an autograph……none were disappointed.  She posed for photos and chatted with every person in line bringing smiles and tears to each along the way.

Friday and Saturday nights were highlights of the weekend for me, just behind visiting with Betty, because those able to do so gathered in the gazebo at the Mayberry Motor Inn  (thanks Alma!) to watch episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, select video clips from Mayberry & beyond, and visit!   Just like sitting on the Taylor’s front porch, we gathered to talk and get to know one another better.  What a wonderful time we had.
